Catherine Zeta-Jones Has Been Cast In 'Rock of Ages'


The Oscar-winning actress Catherine Zeta-Jones has officially joined the all-star cast of Rock of Ages, the big-screen adaptation of the hit, hard-rock Broadway musical, a source confirms to Us Weekly.

Catherine Zeta-Jones was in final negotiations for the film. Directed by Adam Shankman, the flick previously nabbed Tom Cruise, Alec Baldwin, Paul Giamatti and Mary J. Blige for its cast.

It's a new character created just for the screen, the source tells Us. She's playing the mayor's wife. Basically she's the villain of the film. She wants to get rock and roll out of Los Angeles!

The 41-year-old Catherine Zeta-Jones briefly checked into a mental health facility to get treated for bipolar II disorder, last week, her rep confirmed to Us.

Catherine Zeta-Jones stood by husband Michael Douglas' side as he battled cancer. The duo have two kids together: son Dylan, 10, and daughter Carys, 7.


The insider says, Catherine Zeta-Jones is a hard-working actress, beautiful and talented. You never hear a bad word about her. And she won an Oscar for Chicago, a musical. This is perfect for her.
